It's the holiday where shopping centres become a sea of dazed shoppers bearing checklists as long as your arm, lunch is a never-ending buffet of prawns and ham and your electricity bill is doubly struck by having to run the fan all day and keep those decorative lights blinking through the night. William McInnes, best-selling author of Fatherhood, Worse Things Happen at Sea and A Man's Got to Have a Hobby, tackles the silly season in a way only he can - telling stories brimming with good humour and nostalgia, to remind us what Christmas is all about: family.

Diego já sabe muito bem que seu irmão só liga para ele em duas situações: no Natal e quando precisa de um favor. Mas dessa vez, unindo o inútil ao desagradável, Diogo decide inovar e pede um favor natalino: que Diego seja o Papai Noel na festa da escola dos sobrinhos. O problema é que Diego odeia o Natal. E fazer favores. Fugindo de todas as comemorações e decidido a deixar o irmão se virar, Diego recebe a visita de três espíritos natalinos (tal qual Ebenezer Scrooge) que são a cara dos seus sobrinhos e trazem a mensagem de que o Natal quer fazer as pazes.

It's that time of the year again, the holiday season. Between checkout lines a mile long, the office party hangover, battles with traffic, and delayed flights, what's better to do than to listen to The Worst Noel and laugh your holiday aggravation away? The collection features an eclectic mix of writers with playful, often dark humor as the common thread.

There is a big old sledding hill not more than two or three good snowballs' worth of distance from our home, just behind Hank Macabee's house. That hill was waiting for me and my brand new toboggan. It's one of those sneak-up kind of hills with a long slow ride down that picks up speed as it goes with a bump-hump at the end that you never see coming. The Christmas tree crashed through Hank Macabee's bay window. The tree stand clattered behind it and bounced with a clank on Hank's half-frozen front lawn. Hank came through the door with a shotgun in hand.
